Bienvenue! Welcome!

Dear SJA Families,

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a fantastic and fun-filled summer! For those who are new to St. Jude's Academy, I am Mlle. Jessica, the Primary French teacher. I will be teaching JK - Grade 1 this year. French teaching has always been a passion of mine. I love working with this age group. I am excited for another great year ahead. Our Lower School Orientation Night is coming up on Wednesday, August 28^th, you can find me in room 29 (please refer to the attached flyer for more details). Our Welcome BBQ is on Thursday, September 19th. I encourage everyone to attend! I look forward to seeing everyone back and meeting some new faces!
